Elijah Gomba

I am protected, I am protected, divine protection surrounds me now. The light is here, the light is with me, everywhere I move, everywhere I breathe. The presence is strong, the presence is here right now, guarding me, watching over me, right now, in this moment.

When a peacock shows off its brilliant feathers, It forgets that even the proudest bird can stumble— For the elders remind us, "Even the mighty baobab bends in a storm," And laughter rings out when pride hits the ground. The lion roars, his mane blazing like fire, Yet his pride is as fragile as brittle clay; "Better to walk humbly in the village than to strut in exile," So even the king needs to learn to bow.
